Bringing a live presence to the table. A perfect unit that enables a new dining experience.

The end of the year and the beginning of the New Year are the times of year when we feel the speed of the day and gatherings increase. The BALMUDA The Plate Pro is a must-have for holiday parties at home, year-end parties, New Year's parties, and other upcoming banquets. The rimless design looks like a stage, creating a realistic dining experience similar to that of a teppanyaki restaurant. The precise temperature control function is said to give the food a professional taste. Designers Yuji Yoshida and Taka Waida, a couple who often hold private home parties, can't help but smile. This time, we caught up with the couple during their mealtime. The couple, who are particular about not only their cooking but also their tools, sit around the dining table using a BALMUDA hot plate.

Like denim, he chooses tools that will develop a taste over time.

Yuji Yoshida and his wife Taka Waida are usually active as fashion designers, but on weekends they enjoy hosting private home parties with their friends under the title of "Somewhere Restaurant.Instagram accountThe "Mere Old Man" is a collection of photographs of delicious-looking dishes, which stimulate the viewer's appetite.

When the Corona Disaster prevented us from eating out, we started enjoying meals in secret with just our good friends. We don't have to worry about the people around us, and we can relax and enjoy our meals because we can spend time together without time limits.

I created my Instagram account after that became popular among my friends, who asked me what kind of food I was making. I used to invite people over for dinner every week, but that was too much work, so now I do it whenever I feel like it.

The open kitchen, which was designed by a designer, is lined with carefully selected utensils. The consistency of the utensils is evident in the attention to detail in the cooking process.

I don't really like plastic or silicone utensils. Instead, I choose utensils that will develop a certain taste as I use them, like denim. For some reason, food looks better when I use such things. I feel that old-fashioned items have more flavor. Depending on the purpose, natural fibers such as cotton and wool look better than synthetic fibers. If I were to translate that into cooking utensils, I would say that iron or stainless steel would be the best choice. If you use them, they will develop a certain taste. They also need care from time to time, but I like that as well.

This time, we closely follow them during their mealtime. The dining table is lined with "Barmuda The Plate Pro," and they cook three dishes using this plate.
